Prince Max Palace

Baden banker August Schmieder ordered this magnificent palace to arrange a nursing home within its walls. The famous Les Invalides in Paris “pitched this idea” to the banker-philanthropist. However, the design implemented in the beaux-artes style was so gorgeous that Prince Maximilian of Baden bought it from Schmieder, so the building took his name. hotographs, prints and paintings – total of 16,500 exhibits from the Middle Ages to the XXI century - illustrates the evolution of funeral traditions and mourning ritual. The museum has two collections: one is devoted to the death and the funeral in general, the other – to the German cemeteries. The museum offers midnight tours to visitors to have a full palette of feelings.

Incidentally, he was a prominent figure in the history of Germany. He was the last chancellor of the empire. It was said that he literally "slept through a revolution in 1918”. Being seriously affected by cold, Max of Baden received a loading dose of morphine because of which he slept for two days! During this time unrest flared up in the country, to which the government was already unable to react promptly. The palace was transformed into a museum complex. It houses Karlsruhe Museum of History, the Museum of Literature and a library. and mourning ritual. The museum has two collections: one is devoted to the death and the funeral in general, the other – to the German cemeteries.
